Really enjoyed that. Are there any negative consequences for the plants that come from such a snow fall?

Thanks guys!

earl: I would say not, as they experience snow in their native habitat.. In fact most say its beneficial as it insulates them from freezing dry air... Its not horribly cold here, doesn't often fall below 30F during the winter here.. For the past few days its just been between 30-32F...

Here are a few quick cell phone pics from today... The snow in the previous photos melted fairly fast and we had a day of normal rainy weather.. then a big winter stormfront hit and most of western Washington had alot of snow today.. here down on the water we had 6", which is alot for sealevel.. Some other areas here had up to 20"! craziness!

The window to my plant room as seen from the snowy patio. Like looking into a warm tropical paradise. lol.

So today we got a crap-ton of ice due to freezing ran.. Was fun walking to work today... 1/3" of ice over 6" of snow... Got some interesting photos of the ice on some of the sarrs when I got home though...

How the heck is that lid supporting all that weight?? lol

A before and after, about 24 hours apart...
